Apple

Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL.US) is truly the phenomenon of our times. The company has managed to combine the latest technology with world-class design and clever marketing in an incredibly impressive way.

The result is a firm which has grown to become the largest in the world by market capitalisation, worth a cool $468 billion. Now usually when a company reaches this size, it grows only slowly, if at all -- after all, elephants don't gallop, do they?

But the remarkable thing about Apple is that the world's largest company remains a growth company. Microsoft and Google may be growing quickly, but Apple is leaving them in the dust. In both 2010 and 2011 it nearly doubled its eps, and another sizeable increase is predicted for 2012.

A Great Day



After Ashton's football in the morning (which he loves) we had a nice lunch before Nanny and Grandad came round, later we went to see The Mysterious Island (which we all thought was great) and picked up something to eat on the way home, to cap it off we had lots of snow and Arsenal won 7 : 1 - It does not get much better than this for me.

Why Smart Investors Buy Dividend Stocks

Let's get a few things straight.

Dividend stocks are not cool. They are not exciting. And they do not make for good conversation topics at parties. They're like the trombone player from high school who never had a date to prom.

In fact, come to think of it, the only thing dividend stocks are good for is making money. And potentially lots of it. So if you're not interested in making money, then proceed no further. There's nothing glamorous to see here. But if you clicked on this article because you're greedy and want to get rich from investing, like most of us here at The Motley Fool, then dividend stocks are for you.
